..However, there are some important differences in the magnitude of integration and in phenotypic covariance structure among the species, which may provide some insight into how selection acted to differentiate humans from the great apes...

Identifying the morphological signatures of hybridization in primate and human evolution

..Similar variation is also observed in museum samples drawn from natural hybrid zones. The results offer a strategy for detecting hybrid zones in the fossil record; implications for interpreting the hominin fossil record are discussed...

Patterns of covariation in the hominoid craniofacial skeleton: implications for paleoanthropological models

..Additionally, neglecting to account for this divergence when using living analogues as variation "yardsticks" can give rise to interpretations of the fossil record that are more speciose than is warranted...

Comparing the accuracy and precision of three techniques used for estimating missing landmarks when reconstructing fossil hominin crania

..Thin plate splines also show an unexpectedly large amount of error in estimating landmarks, especially over large areas. Recommendations are made for estimating missing landmarks under various scenarios...

Biogeochemical and craniometric investigation of dietary ecology, niche separation, and taxonomy of Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecoids from the Makapansgat Limeworks
